ICL: Implantable Contact Lens

EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) surgery is a type of refractive eye surgery that corrects vision problems such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. During the procedure, an artificial lens is surgically implanted behind the iris and in front of the natural lens of the eye to correct the refractive error.It can provide a permanent solution for vision correction without compromising the natural structure of the eye.

EVO ICL surgery is a safe and effective way to improve vision for patients with refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The surgery involves implanting a small, flexible lens inside the eye to correct the refractive error, thereby improving vision.

The EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) is a type of phakic intraocular lens (IOL) that is implanted directly into the eye to correct vision. Unlike traditional LASIK  laser eye surgeries, which remove corneal tissue to reshape the eye, EVO ICL surgery works by adding an additional lens, placed behind the iris or colored part of the eye. It is important to note that the natural lens of the eye is not removed during the procedure.

The EVO ICL lens is a micro-thin, biocompatible lens made of a material called Collamer. It is soft and flexible, which allows it to be folded and inserted into the eye through a small incision. Once inside the eye, the lens unfolds and positions itself permanently in front of the natural lens of the eye. The lens then works in conjunction with the natural lens of the eye to provide clear, crisp vision.

EVO ICL surgery is a safe and effective way to correct mild to severe refractive errors in patients. The surgery is generally performed under local anesthesia and only requires a small incision. The procedure itself is painless and most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days after the surgery.

The benefits of EVO ICL surgery over traditional LASIK eye surgeries are numerous. First and foremost, the procedure is reversible, which means that if the patient experiences any adverse effects or changes in their vision, the lens can be easily removed or replaced. Additionally, because the natural lens of the eye is not removed, the procedure is less invasive and poses less risk of complications such as corneal scarring or dry eye syndrome.

Overall, EVO ICL surgery is a safe, effective, and reversible way to improve vision for patients with refractive errors. Patients who are interested in the procedure should consult with an experienced eye surgeon to determine if they are a good candidate for the procedure.


THE EVO ICL PROCEDURE

EVO ICL, also known as the Implantable Collamer Lens, is a type of refractive procedure to help correct the most common visual problem, myopia. Simply put, EVO ICL is a removable lens implant that is an attractive alternative to LASIK and other refractive procedures.

The procedure for implantable collamer lenses (ICL), specifically EVO ICL, typically involves the following steps:

  1. Initial Consultation: Prior to the EVO ICL surgery, you will have an initial consultation with your eye surgeon to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure. This will involve assessing your ocular history, conducting a thorough eye examination, measuring the corneal thickness, and mapping the curvature of your cornea.

  2. Preparation: On the day of the surgery, your surgeon will administer anesthetic eye drops to numb your eye and prevent you from feeling any pain during the procedure. You may also receive a mild sedative to help you relax.

  3. Incision: Your surgeon will create a small incision on the surface of your eye (typically less than 3mm in size) through which the EVO ICL will be inserted.

  4. Lens Insertion: The EVO ICL will be folded and inserted through the incision into your eye’s natural lens.

  5. Positioning: Your surgeon will position the EVO ICL between your iris and natural lens, ensuring that it is correctly centered and aligned with your eye’s visual axis.

  6. Closing the Incision: Once the EVO ICL is in place, your surgeon will close the incision using tiny surgical sutures or a self-sealing technique that allows the incision to heal naturally without the need for stitches.

  7. Recovery: Following the EVO ICL procedure, you may experience some temporary side effects such as dry eyes, light sensitivity, and blurred vision. Your surgeon will provide instructions for post-operative care, including the use of eye drops and avoiding certain activities such as swimming and strenuous exercise during the healing period.

Overall, the EVO ICL procedure is a safe and effective option for correcting moderate to severe nearsightedness, and can provide long-lasting results without altering the shape of the cornea.

Why People Choose EVO ICL?

  • Sharp, Clear Vision
  • Superb Results. 99.4% of patients would have ICL procedure again.
  • Excellent Night Vision. Many patients achieve excellent night vision with Visian ICL.4
  • Quick Results. Often times, patients can achieve improved vision immediately following procedure.
  • Great for Thin Corneas. Many patients are excluded from other forms of vision correction because of thin corneas, but not with EVO ICL.
  • Great for High Near-sightedness. Visian ICL is able to correct and reduce near-sightedness (myopia) of up to -20D.below are the more reasons why people chose EVO ICL
  1. High visual outcomes: Evo ICL Surgery is known for providing high-quality visual outcomes. People who opt for this procedure often experience improved vision and reduced dependence on corrective glasses or contact lenses.

  2. Minimal recovery time: The procedure requires only a short recovery period, and people can typically resume normal activities within a few days.

  3. Safe and painless: Evo ICL Surgery is considered a safe and painless procedure. It has been performed for over 25 years, with a success rate of approximately 99%.

  4. Suitable for various eye conditions: This procedure is suitable for people with a variety of eye conditions such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.

  5. Long-lasting results: Evo ICL Surgery provides long-lasting results because it involves inserting a permanent lens into the eye, which can last a lifetime.

  6. Less invasive than other procedures: Evo ICL Surgery is less invasive than other corrective eye surgeries such as LASIK, which involves cutting a flap in the cornea.
